Topic:FASTING IS
RELEVANT
Memorise: In weariness and painfulness, in watching often, in hunger and thirst,
in fasting often, in cold and nakedness. 2nd Corinthians 11:27
Bible Text: Matthew 17:14-21, Bible in one year: 2nd Chronicles
7:11-9:28, Luke 22:14-38
When you pay the price for greater heights in your relationship with
God and in ministry, you will be moved up to operate at a new level. When the
price is paid, you will not only see the invisible, you will also hear the
inaudible. In 1st Kings 18:41, while others were busy discussing the
miracle fire that fell suddenly from Heaven, Elijah rose up and declared the
sound of abundance of rain. Noted that no other person saw the sign or heard
the sound. You shall hear the inaudible from today in Jesus’ Name! However, to
operate at this level, you must be given to fasting and prayer. In 2nd
Corinthians 11:27, Paul said that he fasted and often. The moment you sign up
for this
level of ministry, the struggle between your flesh and your spirit
will take a new dimension, while the flesh will be pulling you to the fight.
You need fasting in order to weaken the flesh and strengthen your spirit.
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life.”
John 6:63
Using the arm of flesh at this level of ministry will definitely meet
with disappointments. You need to walk in the Spirit by following the Holy
Spirit’s directions; this empowers your spirit-man and subdues the flesh. A
while ago, one of my sons asked me “Daddy, now that you are over 70, will you
stop fasting?” I laughed and replied, “The moment I quit fasting, you can begin
to expect my departure, because I have resolved no to be a relic. As for as I
am concerned, the day I cease to be relevant, I go.” Elisha remained relevant
until death. Even on his deathbed, he was still dictating the future,
instructing the king on what would happen and how he could have victory. In the
Name of Jesus, you shall not be lost in oblivion. You shall be relevant in your
generation and beyond your generation. Are you prepared to subdue your flesh?
The flesh has pegged the rise of many of child of God. If you do not have
control over your stomach or appetite, you are not prepared for the ministry of
signs and wonders. If you are still indulging in sin, you are not yet serious
about the move of the miraculous in your life. Consider what is outstanding in
your life and strive to meet up today!
Key Point:If you want heavenly results, feed your spirit. If you feed your flesh,
it will deliver sin to you.
